Sanguinaria Canadensis is a homeopathic remedy based on Canadian bloodroot, an herbaceous plant of the Papaveraceae family.

As its name suggests, this plant of Canadian origin contains sanguinarine, an alkaloid with many therapeutic properties.

This reddish juice is mainly found in the plant's rhizome, which is used to produce Sanguinaria Canadensis.

In fact, it is plundered in order to extract the sanguinarine, which is then macerated in alcohol.

The mother tincture obtained in this way is then diluted and dynamised to make it fit for consumption.

In fact, Sanguinaria Canadensis can be used to treat pain and many illnesses.
